4. Fecal fat test - Abnormal results (double the normal amount of fat in stool). My GI said this was an indicator of the following: Celiac, pancreas insufficiency, Crohn's, infection, giardia, small bowel overgrowth

Thanks - that was an interesting history however, I still don't know the answer to my question. Are you saying your GI doc recommended that you have tests for Celiac, pancreas insufficiency, Crohn's, infection, giardia, small bowel overgrowth? Have you had any of these tests or are you going to have these tests?

The bowel surgery is definitely a complicating factor that most IBS suffers don't have to deal with. Good luck with your new GI doc
